Life is hard, and we are busy and distracted

A metaphor for the overwhelming number of options for each individual choice.

 

This reminds me of the corporate world, and when organizations restructure to make things better. Always intrigued by the thought and effort spent on restructuring leadership karma. From the Bible:

No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old garment; if he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. 37) And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38) But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39) And no one after drinking old wine desires new; for he says, ‘The old is good.’

Life is hard.

We know this.

Up to each of us to deal with it effectively.

The origin and instigator of the pity party

The devil tricks us into focusing on our personal trials and tribulations so much that we can not see others’ equal or even greater trials and tribulations.

What happens next is we spend the rest of our lives in a (self) pity party.

If we don’t feel close to God, guess who moved?

Dear Son, the power in being focused and disciplined will reward you exponentially.

Ever have a week similar to the week after September 11, 2001?

Sad, confused, hopeful?

Remember? Of course we do. We know exactly where we were when we heard the news.

I focused on the “three percent” last night – Christine, her husband John, and her uncle Frank.

Yes, there was also time with Isobel, Brian and Joy, as well as Craig.

Sometimes we touch hearts without even trying, without ever knowing.

Other times, like last night, our only goal is to make sure we hit a bullseye.
